You came and sat across from me somewhere around 42nd or 59th, with what looked to be a somewhat sad and embarrassed expression though I couldn't quite tell. I was struck by it, whatever it was exactly--and then it turned out that some of it must have had to do with your contact lens, because it slipped out and fell on the floor. You said it was all right, you were on your way home--and I wanted to find a way to ask where you were heading home from on a Sunday morning, after Valentine's day no less, and what it could have to do with the way you seemed to be feeling. But I couldn't think of any way of asking this that wouldn't be incredibly awkward for both of us, so I just lapsed into silence. Finally I might have been on the verge of asking you something else, but just then the conductor said the train was going to go express and I decided to give it up so that I wouldn't be late on the second day of my crappy temp job. I regretted it as soon as I got back on the platform, of course, regretted not at least staying to add a little more detail to our strange half-encounter, and eventually had the idea of letting it play out (in whatever climactic or anticlimactic way) on here. So, the usual closing--if you (or maybe even someone you know who's vaguely heard the anecdote about the lost contact lens--though who knows how likely that is to be repeated as an anecdote) do somehow manage to find this, I'd be very interested in hearing back from you.

From: pers-1036236335@craigslist.orgAre you serious? To be honest, that's a relief to me (if it's true), because now I can just dismiss the whole thing.
Do you mind giving me some kind of detail, though--you can phrase it in any way that fits your mood, like "She said that there was some asshole who was wearing..."--so that I can feel sure that this isn't just a joke?

From: pers-1036236335@craigslist.orgI'd still be interested to have you elaborate a bit; you can even make up some detail if you're not actually telling the truth. (Maybe I even made up some or all of it myself, so I'd be forced to agree with your lie? But maybe you feel sure that this isn't true, in which case...)
